And if you dig Arkangel, then let's try... Unbroken - Life. Love. Regret. https://play.spotify.com/album/5pVv4cHsJygWdi21RZv17S (The link is to a compilation, but the first nine tracks are Life. Love. Regret., so that's all you have to listen to.)

I can't figure out which part of her face I want to ejaculate onto. So I think I'll just wipe it all over.

Two Foot Yard - Borrowed Arms
1. Octopus Instantly I love the vocals. I really love her voice. It's so sultry. This would do well in a burlesque performance. Something like Dita Von Tease could perform to. Oh goodness am I melting right down to the floor. The part where it just goes ape is fantastic. I'm really excited for this album. Also I hate to compare things but, I get a real Bjork feel from the singer. Which I love. 5 stars 2. Seven Houses Oh wow, this, is fantastic. Oh dear lord baby jesus I'm downloading this as soon as this album is over. Poor man has seven houses and no home. What is I really wonder if this person/band was influenced by Bjork in any way. And the way it goes from jungle drums to almost like swing band is just magic. I can't explain it any other way. 5 stars 3. Borrowed Arms Again something that feels a little old school, you know when there's a vision sprawled across a piano all dawned in sparkle and sequins. She's serenading the whole room. All eyes are on her. Not one person can look away. Like medusa but, instead of stone you experience bliss. Truely how did I not know about this sooner? She's walking around the room now. It doesn't matter if you like women or not she's all that's on your mind. The ending part is silky and leaves me wanting more. Like she's leaving the room and I don't want her to go. 5 stars 4. Chapter IV This woman is very vocally trained either that or she knows her own vocals well no not well, inside and out. I think of snakes. Snake skin at night by the light of a fire. A tribe somewhere, a tribe of people that worship serpants. This woman she's much like a serpant. Her voice slithers into your mind and before you know it she's already taken control of you. She's sly, intelligent, she knows how to get what she wants and she will. 5 stars 5. Crisis Funky. A lot more so than the previous tracks. It took me out of the trance a little bit but, lets see where this goes. This album is like some strange circus I swear. Not one track is like another but, I'm not mad about it. This track is violent. Something going to happen murder, destruction, etc. A fitting title for the way it goes about. I really like the vocals "I'm itching in my skin, I shake myself awake" reminds me of having night terrors. You can tell there really might be a crisis. Danger. 4.5 stars 6. Plane Song It's like the calm after the storm. It's needed to follow something like Crisis. Does this girl do her own harmonies? If she does she's outstanding. You know those songs that make you feel like you're floating? This is one of those songs. It wouldn't work as much somewhere else but, it's just perfect placement. 4.5 stars 7. Drizzle Are the guitar and the drums suppose to be imitating a drizzling sound in the beginning? I kinda get that feeling from this track. It reminds me of like a wounded animal frantically thrashing around trying to run away after it's been hurt at this part. Like the start there's the innocent scene, then it's shot, the animal tries to run, the animal dies. Blood drizzling on the ground 4 stars 8. Hold My Own This track while I do like it, isn't as good as the rest for sure. Not for me anyway. She's saying how she will hold her own. So, it must be about standing up for something you believe in right? Oh, these parts where the vocals almost sound like a ghost are really nice. 4 stars 9. Red-rag and Pink-flag We're back to the more blues type of song here. Is she saying some like it hot? Because, this song has that same kind of vibe to it. For some parts anyway. Who's idea was it to pair these two genres together? It's like hmmm I don't know swing alternative rock? Another great song. Not as much of an impact as Crisis or Borrowed Arms. 4.5 stars 10. Newbury Street This is just a nice simple song. I wish I could say more but, it's just that. 4 stars 11. One Day In May Trying to grasp at what she's saying with these lyrics. For me it almost sounds like something about abuse. I could be wrong. Or maybe suicide. I'll go with suicide because, it sounds like she's listing things that are kind of left behind, left empty. It's depressing, horribly so. I really feel it. You know a song is good when you feel the lyrics rather than hear them. One death, one day in May he'll chose his own end. Suicide is no joke. There's always tomorrow, there's always a future. Don't you wish you could just help people that give up? They need to help themselves though. Easily the most powerful on the album. 5 stars Whistle Past The Graveyard After being emotionally drained by the last song it's nice to hear some vocals that are almost like a call into the night. Do you know the term Who Doo? It's a form of Voodoo if I remember right and this album makes me think of that. Though, is this a different singer? Her voice seems more mature. It feels a little out of place and it's a little silly. Though I can tell the lyrics are anything but, silly. I really enjoy the part in the middle of this song that sounds like some masterful band. A good song. 4 stars The Great Escape Some easy guitar and violin. A nice place to stop after this strange journey. I feel completely drained. In all the best ways. Just humming into a perfect ending. Seriously. Who are these people? This album has touched me in so many different ways. I love this closing. 5 stars Over all, I just I'm sitting here not even sure what to say. I'm not even that, that just happened. Or what happened. I do feel left with a small crack in my heart for the people in these songs. Some of them have been through a lot it seems. 4.5 star all together for the strange voo doo circus from the 40's and today. |

Really glad you liked it that much. Also really like the way you review it, kinda amplifies my own enjoyment of and emotions from the album.
The band is basically a violin, cello, drums trio. The violinist provides the main vocals, while the cellist mostly provides background singing.

You mentioned you used to listen to the Dead Milkmen so would you take a request to review the king in yellow?
